Join CEC in opposing the State and Local Funding Flexibility Act (H.R. 2445), legislation that fails to address our nation’s most pressing education issues and instead seeks to play a shell game with limited education resources.
This misguided legislation encourages diverting — or outright eliminating — funding from programs with deep historical roots that address inequities in educational opportunity, such as the Education for the Disadvantaged Program (Title I) in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)/No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Currently, 2.5 million students with disabilities are also eligible for support from Title I.
Take action now! On Wednesday, July 13, the Education and the Workforce Committee will mark up and vote on this bill. Act before then to let them know where you stand. Send this letter to your Representative on the Education & Workforce Committee and tell them to oppose this bill.
Please vote NO to H.R. 2445
